It's brisk, baby! Woo Hoo!

Riding your FJ to work on a 28 degree day (-2C) and leaving your 11 mpg Dodge Ram home; priceless!

Well done!  How long is the ride?  Any electric gear?

Trying to get mine back on the road so I can start riding to work again - I'm a couple hours south of you.

Almost exactly the same for me this morning. 30 degrees and left the Dodge Ram at home. Only a 5 mile ride for me to work. No electric gear. A balaclava under the helmet, winter gloves, a quilted refrigerator coat under the Icon jacket, leather chaps with liners, and my regular riding boots. Not an unpleasant ride.

Photo from this past Sunday. The same gear for this morning.

Looks good Fred!
No electric gear. just a coat and jeans.
Only about two miles to work, 30 and 40 mph speed limits so it's not too bad.

I been riding to work all along still.
Gets a bit chilly in the morning here in Denver..............I have a 12 mile commute. Heated grips help tremendously!
I just need to get one of those neck gaiter things (my neck is really the only thing that gets cold.)

I love it..................Throughout the work day, the other riders at my work (mostly cruiser riders) see my bike, and make comments about how crazy I am to ride when it's so cold.......
I laugh at them.............I said to one of them "If you wore riding gear, you too could still be riding". He didn't comment back.

It's been in the high 20's-low 30's most mornings................Today was gorgeous though!

If you can find a place locally that sells Carhartt stuff. They have a nice fleece neck gator.

Cycle Gear has some head gear also.

As I had to replace my grips I installed heaters under the grips, looking forward to checking them out. Finding windproof gloves is a challenge.

No need to use wind-proof gloves with the grip heaters I have...............I ride with my summer gloves most days, and my hands get pretty warm with the heaters.

So do you think heated grips would be better than heated gloves?

Here's my $0.02 (from 30,000 feet -wifi on a plane is still cool).  I have grip heaters on the Gixxer. On long cold, and or less cod but wet runs, the back/ outside of my hands can get chilled.  If I were planing to do lots of distance is col or cold/ wet, I think I'd get heated gloves to go along with my Gerbing heated jacket.

If I had it to do again, I think I'd go straight to the gloves.
